China Airlines is preparing for the post-quarantine period by making adjustments to its inflight meal service across all cabins and routes.

The Taiwanese airline continues to adhere to the regulations issued by Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center and making “quarantine prevention” its overriding priority.

Starting from July 6, “One Tray hot meals” will be served on flights of three hours or more departing from or arriving at Taipei. Basic beverage services (such as beer or fruit juice) will also be available on-demand when appropriate. “Sandwich boxes” will continue to be provided for flights of three hours or less, while only bottled water will be provided in all cabin classes on return flights on all China and Hong Kong routes.

China Airlines has re-configured existing in-flight meals in accordance with quarantine principles. A policy of “single tray, single main course, no table cloth, and no beverage menu” will be adopted for all cabin classes. All cutlery are single-use disposable products.

The “One Tray hot meal” has only one choice of main course, which is usually chicken. To meet traveller needs, China Airlines expects to introduce pork, beef, seafood, and vegetarian options for Business Class on flights departing from Taipei in August. Business Class travellers will be able to choose from the four different mains online. For flights that serve “One Tray hot meals”, the welcome beverage for Business Class will also be switched from the existing juice served in glasses to bottled all-natural ‘high-pressure processed’ fruit and vegetable juice in the same month. The change will protect traveller health through better quarantine practices.

China Airlines is maintaining strict quarantine standards as the global pandemic shows little sign of easing. Travellers are advised to avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth during the flight and are being encouraged not to change seats without permission.

Travellers are also advised to wash their hands with soap or hand-wash immediately after using the bathroom to help ensure the safety of everyone aboard the flight.
